Recommendation system by: Public institution

Manual de Fertilização das Culturas / Manual of Crop Fertilization

The manual includes a range of information on soil fertility and the nutrition and fertilisation of the main agricultural crops. The aim of the manual is to help farmers on their holdings to ensure rational fertilisation of crops, in economic and environmental terms, while safeguarding natural resources.
